Chapter 17: Rintaro, come on
"Please come in." Rintaro opened the door to his apartment and motioned for Rai Katase to follow. The latter looked curiously at the exact layout of the apartment.
"I've heard of Flowery Apartment before, but I've always lived in my own home, and I've never seen what Flowery Apartment looks like. Now I've seen it. Katase walked into the room, closed the door casually, and then looked at the tatami mats on the floor: "Don't you have slippers?" ”
"Do you think there will be?" Rintaro asked rhetorically.
"That's why I hate Japanese-style rooms." Yorai Katase puffed out slightly.
In a sense, Yorai Katase can already be regarded as the ultimate issue.
Rintaro carried the ingredients he bought and put them on the kitchen counter. Rai Katase held her chin with one hand and looked at the room, which was almost nothing. If you look at it a little, through the main door, the wall on the left is a large closet embedded in the wall and a special space for supporting tables and chairs, and on the opposite side of this wall is a refrigerator, a kitchen counter, and a bathroom separated by a wall. The front is a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door and a small balcony outside.
It's a little smaller, but it doesn't seem to be missing anything.
"The apartment seems to be a little small......" Rai Katase said.
"This kind of quality, this kind of price, you have other requirements are too much." Rintaro didn't care too much: "I'm quite satisfied anyway." ”
"You're not demanding." Rai Katase looked left and right, but didn't find Rintaro's bed: "Do you sleep on the ground?" ”
"Floor shop...... You sit down on your own, and I'll have to prepare dinner. When I'm done eating, I'll go back quickly. Rintaro passed by, put his bag on the table, and then went to the kitchen counter and began to prepare dinner.
Rai Katase became quieter, sitting on the tatami mat with her legs bent, playing with her phone, and I don't know what she was doing, but it would be nice for Rintaro to be a little quieter.
It doesn't actually take much longer to cook one more person's meal, and Rintaro doesn't cook anything particularly delicious, and he even thinks that an eldest lady like Yolai Katase won't be able to accept it when she tastes the first bite and walks away, so she doesn't do a lot of it. However, Katase Yorai is at least a little polite in such a place.
"I didn't expect Rintaro to really know how to cook." Yorai Katase looked at the two dishes and one soup on the low table: "Although it doesn't seem to be very delicious, it's barely good." ”
"I'm sorry for the reluctance." Rintaro snorted softly.
It was a failure not to let her go, but if she ate it once, she probably wouldn't be interested in her home, and she wouldn't come back again, which was pretty good.
"Well, it's okay." Yori Katase nodded: "It's almost time to get down to business." ”
So there's still business? Rintaro didn't stop his hand and continued to eat, looking at Rai Katase by the way, ready to hear what she wanted to say.
"Although it was because of Kana's recommendation that I decided to let Rintaro give it a try first, but I told you before, right? For our mother, there is only one thing she values, and that is Xiao Xingli's grades, that is, no matter how you do it, if you want to continue to do it, the only thing you have to do is to improve Xiao Xingli's grades, understand? ”
When Rintaro heard this, he was really serious, and he was a little surprised, but he still nodded: "You said it before." ”
"I'm just repeating it." Katase Yorai took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and a slightly disgusted expression appeared on his face: "You put so little salt......"
"Be light, it's good for the body." Rintaro won't say that he did it on purpose.
I'm a little sorry for today's meal, but it's a good thing to be able to keep Katase Yorai from coming to her house to eat and drink again.
"I'll remember to put more salt on my next visit." Rai Katase dispelled Rintaro's thoughts with a word, pursed his lips, and stood up to get salt from the kitchen counter.
"Rintaro, I'm personally quite satisfied, but the situation in our family is a little complicated."
Rintaro, who was taking salt, looked back at her, "Tell me more?" ”
"So soon to inquire about other people's affairs?"
"If you don't, I'll ask?" Rintaro asked rhetorically.
I was thinking about the information I got from Mr. Akiyama for nothing, but I didn't expect that now I have the opportunity to deliver it to my mouth for free? The world is truly amazing.
“…… Finding out the secrets of someone else's home comes at a cost. ”
"This is obviously what you want to say, what does it have to do with me?"
Rintaro immediately cleared up the relationship: "I won't listen, don't say it." ”
However, Katase Yorai is a wonderful person, and the more you don't want to hear it, the more she wants to tell you that such a big person is as rebellious as a child.
"Once upon a time...... Forget it, this version is too long. Yorai Katase put down her chopsticks and held up a finger: "To put it simply, our mother only wants grades, and I think grades are the things that can best tell the level of effort and talent." She has high expectations for us, and if the grades are not satisfactory, she will most likely be replaced by someone else. ”
Rintaro listened and was a little puzzled: "Isn't this normal?" ”
"It's because it's normal, and it's not normal now." Katase raised a second finger: "As the sister of Xiao Hazuki and Xiao Xingli, I am not so superficial. Although Xiao Yeyue's grades are relatively good, but Xiao Xingli's words, you also know the situation, the foundation is there, but the score is not high. If you change tutors often, Xiao Xingli is already more introverted, and she is not adaptable, and the effect is not good...... Therefore, it would be better to have someone you know more well as a teacher. ”
"So, Rintaro you have to come on." Yorai Katase pointed at Rintaro with chopsticks.
"Even if you want me to work hard, ......," Rintaro thought for a moment, "It really takes time to improve my grades." ”
"Whether you can shorten this time is the key to whether you can keep getting this salary." The chopsticks spun on Yorai Katase's fingers, like turning a pen, and Rintaro glared at her: "You stop." It's not you who cleans. ”
Yorai Katase blinked: "Okay." Anyway, Rintaro you are so paralyzed, you shouldn't have a girlfriend yet, right? ”
"Huh." Rintaro didn't want to talk about it.
